Author Kate Brandes lives in the small river town of Riegelsville, Pennsylvania. She has also worked as a geologist and environmental scientist for more than twenty years. She currently teaches geology, creative writing and a course on Landscape, Culture and Story of Place at Moravian University. She also co-directs the Moravian Writers’ Conference. Her novel 'The Promise of Pierson Orchard' was published by Wyatt-Mackenzie Publishing in 2017 and her new novel 'Stone Creek' is due for release in August this year.
In episode 1 of this two-part interview, Kate explains how her scientific background led to developing her creative writing craft where sense of place is at the heart of her stories. Environmental issues are an underlying theme, and Kate discusses how it is important to balance delivering your key messages with telling an engaging story and developing complex fictional characters, perhaps inspired by real people.
